Beautiful Directions Counseling

06/08/2026

We’re excited to share that our counseling office now has two counseling interns available to support our community!

Our interns are currently completing stages of their graduate programs and working toward the hours they need to become amazing licensed candidates and, eventually, fully licensed counselors. While they gain valuable experience, clients can receive counseling services even if they do not have insurance.

This is a great option for individuals who may not otherwise have access to counseling. Our interns provide compassionate, thoughtful care and are closely supervised by our owner and licensed clinicians, ensuring clients receive quality support.

It’s truly a win-win:
✨ Clients receive affordable mental health support
✨ Interns gain the experience they need to complete their schooling and grow into outstanding counselors

If you or someone you know could benefit from counseling but does not have insurance, please reach out to our office to learn more or schedule an appointment.

Do you ever feel like you're building your practice alone?

Working in mental health can be incredibly meaningful, but it can also be isolating. Many clinicians struggle to build trusted referral relationships, find colleagues who truly understand the work, and stay connected to a professional community outside of their immediate workplace.

That's why we created the Montana Circle.

The Montana Circle is a professional community for mental health clinicians across Montana who want meaningful connection, trusted referrals, peer consultation, professional growth, and support from others who understand the unique challenges of this work.

Whether you're in private practice, part of a group practice, pre-licensed, or fully licensed, you'll find opportunities to connect through networking events, peer consultation, book discussions, planning sessions, and our private online community.

Because no clinician should have to build their practice or their professional community alone.

This week, we’re highlighting Rick Hegenbart of Flickering Light Counseling. Rick is a dedicated LCPC who works with both children and adults, helping them navigate anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioral challenges, and life transitions with clarity and confidence.

Rick has a special passion for working with children (especially ages 12 and under), as well as adults facing anxiety and adjustment challenges. His approach blends evidence-based practices like CBT and mindfulness with structured reflection and data-informed insight, helping clients move beyond surface-level concerns and truly understand the patterns shaping their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Grounded in trust and connection, Rick creates a space where therapy feels both human and purposeful, offering practical tools, clear direction, and meaningful progress. He accepts most insurance plans, making support more accessible for many families.
